The point of having distribution packages is that then you have a nicely similar way of configuring your software. Eg. in Debian, *all* configuration resides in /etc, so there's /etc/jspwiki with jspwiki.properties, web.xml, etc. The actual software is then in /usr/share/jspwiki and the documentation in /usr/share/doc/jspwiki, just like in any other Debian package. Makes it a lot easier to find, than to try to remember that "OK, this is a WAR, so it's probably in /usr/share/jspwiki/WEB-INF, no, there is nothing there, maybe it is then /var/lib/jspwiki, no, OK, let's see Tomcat's config." Plus you can use the distribution configuration tools to configure JSPWiki. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer *
